IBM InfoSphere Replication
Server for z/OS,
V10.1 enhances Q Replication and SQL Replication by adding new features
to Replication Server for z/OS and incorporating enhancements delivered in PTFs
for the prior version of the product.

Selected features that deliver benefits to your business:

Support of new function in DB2 for z/OS, V10

Temporal tables

Timestamp with time zone

Leveraging inline Large Objects for improved replication performance

Improved support of continuous availability and active-active solutions

Automatically replicate Alter Column data type actions.

Have Q Capture read to the end of the database log before shutdown to
ensure data is captured for replication to secondary systems.

Control Q Capture restart at the queue level.

Use new spill-resume conflict and error actions in Q Apply to automatically
spill changed data to queues during target table maintenance and other activities.

Have Q Apply ignore a range of transactions queued, but no longer needed,
after the start up of a failed site in disaster recovery.

Have Q Capture group DB2 transactions by a number you choose for more efficient
transport across the network.

Keep application workloads active when adding new tables to bidirectional
and peer-to-peer subscriptions. The initialization protocol for new tables
now allows application activity on replicated tables during the initialization
of related Q subscriptions.

Use nonpersistent WebSphere MQ messages to reduce latency and overhead.

Enhanced features of SQL Replication

Support of DB2 for z/OS not-logged
table spaces for SQL Replication CD tables. This can significantly reduce
the log overhead traditionally associated with staged data.

More SQL Apply statistical data for health and performance monitoring.

More options for loading target tables.

Control the maximum number of parallel loads that can be done by Q Apply.

Optionally, replicate source table load operations to target tables.

Have Q Apply load a single target table from multiple source tables.

Allow Q Apply parallel load with non-DB2 target tables.

Have Q Apply support SQL*Loader for Oracle tables.

Enhanced features of the Q Replication Dashboard

Deploy to an existing WebSphere Application Server.

Use the new Recovery Advisor to assist in failover, switchback, and unexpected
outages.

Email health and performance reports.

View the contents of source and target tables in a single dialog.

Take advantage of recent customization options.

InfoSphere Data
Event Publisher for z/OS, V10.1 is a subset of Q Replication that allows
you to link DB2 changed-data
events with business processes and drive change-only updating of data warehouses,
datamarts, and operational data stores. The data change is published to WebSphere MQ
queues for general use.

InfoSphere Data
Event Publisher enables database events to initiate business processes. For
example, a change in an inventory value could be used to drive a product restocking
workflow, or the addition of a customer record could initiate a new customer
process that includes a welcome email, credit verification, and accounting
update. This creates an application-independent, loosely coupled integration
that is more adaptable to changing application environments.

While multiple applications may impact the value of the inventory level,
a single point of integration -- the data -- is driving the work flow. Changes
to the applications that impact the inventory level can be made with virtually
no impact on the data event-driven integration. Businesses can realize faster
time to market because integration captures the event in a single location,
is more stable, and is easier to maintain.

Additionally, InfoSphere Data
Event Publisher solutions can deliver changes to extract, transform, and load
tools like InfoSphere DataStage,
or custom-built processes for updating operational data stores and data warehouses,
minimizing bandwidth requirements and keeping target databases updated in
near real time. Businesses can utilize information that is much more current
for tactical and operational decision making.

Selected features that deliver benefits to your business:

Support of new function in DB2 for z/OS, V10

Temporal tables

Timestamp with timezone

Leverage in-line LOBs for improved replication performance

Performance enhancements

Allow use of nonpersistent WebSphere MQ messages to reduce latency
and overhead.

Enhanced features of the Q Replication Dashboard

Deploy to an existing WebSphere Application Server.

Email health and performance reports.

Take advantage of recent customization options.

IBM has
transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to help
you achieve higher system availability. Electronic Services is a web-enabled
solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the
service and support available for IBM servers. These services are designed
to provide the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem
resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate,
but complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic
Services Agent.

The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that
replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services
and support. The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources
for assistance in resolving technical problems.

The Electronic
Service Agent is no-additional-charge software that resides on your server.
It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic,
client-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically
reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to
deliver proactive service that may result in higher system availability and
performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent
is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer
your questions or diagnose problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic
Service Agent for problem reporting enables IBM to provide better support and service
for your IBM server.

For additional information and current prices, contact
your local IBM representative.

To order, specify the program product number and the
appropriate license or charge option. Also, specify the desired distribution
medium. To suppress shipment of media, select the license-only option in CFSW.
